Family Weekly Update - Week 7

Dear Randall Families,

Thank you for another fabulous week at Randall! We all know how finicky our Wisconsin weather can be! Please help us ensure students have appropriate fall weather attire as they go outside for recess and drop off / pick up. This week, Parent Teacher Conference Sign Up opened up on Skyward. We appreciate and encourage you to attend these conferences so that we can continue to build the home-school bridge and best support each and every student.

A Little Library was installed over the weekend by Rocco S. (former Randall student). He did this as his Eagle Scout Project and made 5-7 Little Libraries to put in our community. He chose Randall as a location, as it is a place that was near and dear to his heart for learning. The Little Library is located on the east side of Randall School by the Memory Garden. So grab a book, a seat on the bench and enjoy your reading!

Lastly, please find below information about upcoming PTC Events and our annual Stuff The Bus food drive. New to Randall this year is the Kids Heart Challenge. Partnering with the American Heart Association, our students will have the opportunity to learn about CPR and healthy hearts!

Thank you,

Ms. Garcia

Principal / Director of Instruction
Randall Consolidated School

Burlington Area School District is offering families and local communities the opportunity to attend two presentations with Dr. Mervin Langley. The sessions will focus on Understanding Emotional Dysregulation and the First Steps in Cultivating Emotional Regulation (Session 1) and Practical Strategies for Improving Emotional Regulation (Session 2). If you have ever needed support in helping your child deal with big emotions, support positive behaviors, or just want to learn more, this is a great opportunity that is at no cost to families.

• Girls Basketball - Results from last night: The C-team fell short of a win but had a great first game and played really well together. The team was able to move the ball, navigate the plays, and played good defense throughout the game. The B-team kicked off their season with a win against Riverview 27-18. Tessa T. led the way with 16 points. Brynlee O. had 5 points including a 3 pointer, Ariana P had 4 points, and Lydia M. had 2 points. Great teamwork, tough defense, and hustle from all the girls led to a victory. The A-team lost a close game to the Comets 25-23. Hanna S. had 11 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Wildcats. Lillian J. had 5 points, Maci J had 4 points, and Gwen M hit a 3 to round out the scoring. The girls fought very hard at the end but ultimately came up just short. Great job everyone! All 3 teams take on Union Grove Monday night.

Randall School is pleased to announce the launch of the SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT confidential tipline as part of our school safety efforts. Tiplines are used to identify threats to schools, and for concerns impacting school age youth such as bullying, drug use, suicidal thoughts and more. Schools that promote and use tiplines have less violence overall. The SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT (SUSO) tipline is run by the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Office of School Safety. Parents and students, this tool is available for anyone to use to help keep the Randall Community safe!

Randall students will engage in learning about how to advocate for their own (and others') safety and well-being over the next month in partnership with our counselor, Mrs. Roth, as well as other members of our student services team. We encourage you to speak with your child about the importance of communicating when/if they feel that their safety may be compromised.

Here is a LINK to an informational flyer about Speak Up Speak Out.

Thank you in advance for all of your support!
